UPPER MORELAND FIELD HOCKEY PREVIEW

Coach: Marissa Elizardo (2nd year)

Assistant coaches: Melanie Rowland and Katie Fox

Last year’s record: 3-14 SOL, 4-14 overall

Notable losses: Anna Duncan, Emma Hurley (lacrosse at Holy Family), Cayden Wiest, Taylor Boone

Key returners: Jenna Piantieri (12/F), Liz Santry (12/D), Haleigh Woodman (12/D), Cambrie Richmond (11/D/M)

Others to watch: Lia Liou (12/M), Zoe Longstreth (12/M), Alexa Marczak (12/M), Kelly Bates (10/D), Izzy Duncan (10/D)

Strengths: Willingness to learn, enthusiasm, defense

Questions Marks: After graduating GK Emma Hurley, we are looking to see who will step up and earn the starting goalkeeper spot. Similarly, we graduated three of our top four scorers, so we are looking for some new players to step up offensively.

Outlook: “We lost a handful of crucial players to graduation. We are looking for some of our younger players to step up and fill those gaps. Many of our returning players will find themselves in new positions and roles this year. Our success will depend upon how quickly we can adapt to these new roles and come together as a team. The players came into preseason in shape, eager to learn and ready to work hard.”
